Emotional Talking Therapies
Your well-being is important.
Stay N Play Talking Therapies is devoted to enhancing mental health and well-being through our bespoke talking therapy programmes, uniquely integrating the therapeutic presence of dogs. Our primary aim is to empower individuals by aiding them in recognising and tapping into their inner strengths. This is achieved by providing a comforting, safe, and neutral space where individuals can express themselves openly and without fear of judgement, facilitated by the soothing presence of therapy dogs.
The cornerstone of our therapy approach is the utilisation of canine-assisted therapy alongside traditional talking therapies. The presence of a therapy dog during sessions offers more than comfort; it significantly enhances the therapeutic experience. Interactions with dogs have been scientifically shown to increase levels of oxytocin in the brain, which fosters trust and reduces anxiety, thereby deepening the therapeutic impact.
Nurturing Growth with Canine Companions
Our therapists are trained professionals, skilled in a diverse array of therapeutic techniques and canine interactions. They work closely with each child, crafting personalised sessions that focus on individual needs, from coping with anxiety and
depression to navigating life transitions and building emotional resilience. Our approach is not one-size-fits-all; each therapy journey is as unique as the individuals we help.
The benefits of our Talking Therapy programme extend far beyond the therapy sessions themselves. We often here report of a renewed sense of peace and emotional stability, increased self-awareness, and a heightened ability to manage life’s challenges. The non-judgmental support provided in our sessions encourages children to explore their thoughts and feelings in depth, leading to significant personal growth and improved mental health.
Moreover, the environment we create at Stay N Play is one of continuous support and community. Our sessions are designed to be a sanctuary where children can feel secure in their vulnerability, supported not only by their therapist but also by the therapeutic dogs that are integral to our practice. This setting helps to cultivate a sense of belonging and community among our clients, enhancing their therapy experience.
Growing Communities Through Education and Outreach
Stay N Play Talking Therapies is also committed to community outreach and education. We regularly hold workshops and seminars to raise awareness about the benefits of talking therapies and canine-assisted therapy, and to destigmatize seeking help for mental health issues. Our goal is to make mental health services more accessible and accepted within the community, ensuring that everyone who needs support can receive it without hesitation.

Through our talking therapies enhanced by the healing presence of dogs, we offer a path to better mental health, emotional understanding, and overall well-being. Let us help you discover a more joyful, resilient, and fulfilling life.
